Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Fat Free Milk scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gel, Carrageenan, Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanillin): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Milk, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 4,301 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
